Lyons and Simmons will receive the award named for their old friend at a dinner on Sept. 12, a Friday, at the Bellevue Country Club. Over the next two days, in an independent celebration, the annual Haudenosaunee Wooden Stick Lacrosse Festival — along with the Restore Our Sacred Lake 5k Run — will be held at Onondaga Lake Park. A masters tournament at the festival now honors the late Randy Hall, a Mohawk who was one of the founders of the annual gathering.
